Zipcar stations 2 cars at Robert Morris University

Robert Morris University and Zipcar Inc. announced Friday a deal to give students, faculty, staff and others in the community access to the car-sharing service on the Moon Township campus.

Two cars will be located at an RMU parking lot and available for rental 24 hours a day; reservations can be made by smartphone app, website or by telephone. A discount on membership is being given to people associated with RMU.

"We are excited to partner with Zipcar and offer this wonderful service to our student body,” said John Michaleno, RMU's vice president, student life, and dean of students, in a prepared statement. "As RMU's enrollment and residential population has grown substantially over these past few years, providing affordable and easy access to transportation is important. Adding Zipcars to our menu of transportation services provides yet another amenity to support our students' needs."
